Chapter 942: Chapter 499: Eighth Life: A Deal Struck, Snow Mountain Wolf Pack!
"How can you be sure this information is accurate?"
Hearing Lin Hao’s words.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and immediately asked.
"To be honest, shortly after I entered the Spirit Void Cave Mansion, I locked on to the precise location of the Dragon Transformation Pool based on this information."
"If it hadn’t been for the sudden uprising of fierce beasts in the secret realm, my younger sister and I would have already reached the Dragon Transformation Pool successfully."
Lin Hao sighed, feeling quite helpless.
Originally, according to his plan.
Once Lin Xuan obtains the Dragon Transformation Spirit Liquid, all innate defects can be repaired, and she could use this opportunity to step into the Nirvana Realm in one go.
But who could have anticipated that the Eastern Sea Demon Race would join forces with the Fierce Beast Lineage, disrupting all his plans?
Now, with fierce beasts rampaging through the Spirit Void Cave Mansion, it was difficult for him to even ensure their survival, let alone reach the Dragon Transformation Pool.
"I can tell you the location of the Dragon Transformation Pool, but I hope you’ll consider granting my sister some of the Dragon Transformation Spirit Liquid, so she can soon be free from the torment of illness."
Lin Hao pleaded in a low voice.
"No way, the Dragon Transformation Pool appears once in a century, and the spirit liquid inside is only enough for one person to achieve Nirvana. If two people share it, the effects of the spirit liquid will be wasted, and nothing will be gained in the end."
Lu Yuan shook his head, rejecting Lin Hao’s proposal.
Although the frail girl appeared pitiful, what did it have to do with him?
If you take people’s money, you help them resolve their woes.
He had already promised to protect Lin Hao and his sister until the secret realm’s exit opened, so all the Dragon Transformation Spirit Liquid rightfully belonged to him.
If he let his emotions get the better of him and gave away part of the spirit liquid, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?
"You have a quarter of an hour to think it over. You’d better be sure before giving me an answer."
Lu Yuan said calmly, not in a hurry to rush him.
After all, the Dragon Transformation Pool was precious, but he had experienced many reincarnations and had seen all sorts of exotic treasures.
Even if Lin Hao was unwilling to share, at worst they would go their separate ways, and he would find a place with Luo Xin and Su Rhyme to hold out until the secret realm passage opened.
After all, opportunities are countless in the world, and he didn’t lack this one creation.
Lin Hao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end swallowed his words.
He understood that his request was difficult, but this was his sister’s hope for survival. Was he to watch her die in front of him?
Time passed quickly, and a quarter of an hour soon elapsed.
"Let’s go."
Seeing Lin Hao standing there, eyes red, indecisive, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly, called out to Luo Xin, and started walking away.
"But that’s the Dragon Transformation Pool, are you really giving up that easily, junior brother?"
"With the Dragon Transformation Pool, junior brother, your power will surely skyrocket, and you might even stand a chance to contend for the Celestial Mandate Inheritance."
"Such opportunities are rare, why not capture him and use severe punishment?"
Luo Xin quickly caught up with Lu Yuan, lowering her voice to ask.
"Forget it, I don’t lack these things."
Lu Yuan shook his head.
A gentleman loves wealth, but obtains it ethically.
Though he wasn’t a saint, he distinguished clearly between grudges and gratitude.
He had no animosity with Lin Hao and his sister, so there was no need for ruthless actions against them.
"Clear distinction between right and wrong, repaying grudges; that’s the flair of us sword cultivators."
Su Rhyme nodded approvingly, looking at him with newfound respect.
But watching their departing figures, the frail girl who had been hiding behind Lin Hao hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.
"Brother, tell him the location..."
"No, that’s your only chance of survival."
Lin Hao felt torn, looking at his sister’s pale face.
Cultivators are emotionless, seeking to sever all emotional ties for supreme enlightenment.
But blood is thicker than water; this bond can never be severed.
Moreover, he had watched Lin Xuan grow up, how could he give away her life-saving chance?
"My condition hasn’t worsened yet. Even without the Dragon Transformation Spirit Liquid, I can live for a few more years. Brother, you’ve already helped Xuan’er a lot; I can’t burden you any further."
Despite her frail health, Lin Xuan was not foolish.
Now with fierce beasts all over the Spirit Void Cave Mansion, Lu Yuan was their only hope of survival.
If they could tell Lu Yuan the location of the Dragon Transformation Pool, perhaps they could live a few more years.
But if they didn’t, they might not even survive until the secret realm’s exit opened.
Lin Hao understood this too, but the Dragon Transformation Pool was incredibly precious, he couldn’t bear to dash his sister’s hopes like this.
"Though the secret realm has many fierce beasts, if we’re careful, we might just reach the Dragon Transformation Pool..."
Seeing Lin Hao’s hesitation, Lin Xuan, unable to hold back any longer, mustered the courage to shout.
"Big brother, wait a moment."
"Have you made up your minds?"
Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Lin Hao and his sister.
"Brother!"
When Lin Xuan saw her brother still unable to decide, her voice instantly grew firmer.
"Alright, it’s fate, it seems the Dragon Transformation Pool is destined to elude us."
Lin Hao remained silent for a long while, then finally sighed heavily as if accepting his fate.
Once dignified and young, he now appeared somewhat hunched, the light in his dark eyes dimmed, as if aged several decades in an instant.
"Don’t worry, brother, even without the Dragon Transformation Spirit Liquid, Xuan’er will be fine."
Seeing her brother’s haggard appearance, Lin Xuan could not help but comfort him.
"Such a touching sibling bond. If only I had a brother like that," Luo Xin and Su Rhyme, witnessing this, felt their hearts softened, their eyes reddening, nearly shedding tears.
